Making a Small Investment in Parking Aids

Accidents in parking lots occur because of driver error 33 percent of the time. This driver error could be hitting an unmoving object such as a curb, light post, or other vehicles. They can also be accidents involving pedestrians. It seems no matter when you go into a parking lot these days pedestrians just keep walking even when it is apparent you are backing up. If you have already looked to make sure the road is clear it doesn’t matter. Seconds can go by and a car or pedestrian could be causing an accident.

The best preventative measure is being proactive with parking sensors like the PD1. The PD1 is an electromagnetic parking sensor. It is an inexpensive preventative measure that is out of site on the vehicle. In fact you don’t even have to make changes to the bumper to install these parking sensors. They will attach to both the front and rear bumper behind the actual bumper rather than on the front. This means you don’t have to alter the bumper at all. The only installation required is running the wires to the reverse mechanism and under the dash. The front sensor has a button under the steering wheel to engage it. The reverse sensor is engaged when you put the car in reverse. With easy installation and a low cost you can’t do better than purchasing parking aids to prevent accidents in any parking situation.
